Tooltip showing multiple values

Question

Hi there - For some reason my tooltip shows me the data labels for all my lines , not just the line I am hovering over. Any idea how to solve?

You are thinking in the wrong dimension. The line chart tooltip shows for the point on the x axis you're hovering over, not for the specific line.

I'm not sure why but tooltip is showing me all the labels in my chart not just for the line that I hover over. Anyone know why?

Ok so what is the best solution for when there aare multiple lines on a chart and the user would like to know which line is which beyond trying to match up the colors to the legend? Clicking data labels On has the same issue - it presents the values not the name of the line as shown in the legend.

I'm not sure I understand. If your chart has so many lines that you can't tell which is which, a line chart is probably just not the appropriate visual for whatever data you're trying to analyze.

So I have a line chart where each line is a company and the x-axis is over time. So you can see how companies are performing over time.&nbsp; Based on the slicers the user may select&nbsp;between 1 to&nbsp;30&nbsp;companies.&nbsp;The lines may bunch together or one line may swing up over time before going down again. It's these outliers the user is interested in.&nbsp;So they would hover over a line that appears to be bucking the trend on that month and wanting to know which company it was. They are currently faced with a list of all companies currently in the chart and have to resort to matching up the color in the legend to the color of the line.&nbsp;Hope that helps explain it better.
